Synopsis
The greatest relief pitcher of all time shares his extraordinary story of survival, love, and baseball. Mariano Rivera, the man who intimidated thousands of batters merely by opening a bullpen door, began his incredible journey as the son of a poor Panamanian fisherman. When first scouted by the Yankees, he didn't even own his own glove. He thought he might make a good mechanic. When discovered, he had never flown in an airplane, had never heard of Babe Ruth, spoke no English, and couldn't imagine Tampa, the city where he was headed to begin a career that would become one of baseball's most iconic. What he did know: that he loved his family and his then girlfriend, Clara, that he could trust in the Lord to guide him, and that he could throw a baseball exactly where he wanted to, every time. With astonishing candor, Rivera tells the story of the championships, the bosses (including The Boss), the rivalries, and the struggles of being a Latino baseball player in the United States and of maintaining Christian values in professional athletics. The thirteen-time All-Star discusses his drive to win; the secrets behind his legendary composure; the story of how he discovered his cut fastball; the untold, pitch-by-pitch account of the ninth inning of Game 7 in the 2001 World Series; and why the lowest moment of his career became one of his greatest blessings. In The Closer, Rivera takes readers into the Yankee clubhouse, where his teammates are his brothers. But he also takes us on that jog from the bullpen to the mound, where the game -- or the season -- rests squarely on his shoulders. We come to understand the laserlike focus that is his hallmark, and how his faith and his family kept his feet firmly on the pitching rubber. Many of the tools he used so consistently and gracefully came from what was inside him for a very long time -- his deep passion for life; his enduring commitment to Clara, whom he met in kindergarten; and his innate sense for getting out of a jam. When Rivera retired, the whole world watched -- and cheered. In The Closer , we come to an even greater appreciation of a legend built from the ground up., El lanzador de relevo más exitoso de todos los tiempos comparte su extraordinaria historia de supervivencia, amor y béisbol. Mariano Rivera, el hombre que intimidó a miles de bateadores con tan solo abrir la puerta del bullpen , comenzó su increíble viaje como el hijo de un pobre pescador panameño. Cuando primeramente los Yankees lo reclutaron, ni siquiera poseía su propio guante. Él pensó que podría ser un buen mecánico. Cuando lo descubrieron, nunca antes había volado en un avión, nunca había oído hablar de Babe Ruth, no hablaba inglés, ni tampoco se imaginaba cómo era Tampa, la ciudad hacia donde iba para comenzar una carrera que lo convertiría en uno de los más icónicos del béisbol. Lo que sí sabía: que amaba a su familia y su entonces novia, Clara; que podía confiar en el Señor para guiarlo; y que podía lanzar una pelota exactamente donde él quería, todo el tiempo. Con sorprendente candor, Rivera relata la historia de los campeonatos, los jefes (incluyendo El Jefe), las rivalidades y las luchas de ser pelotero latino en los Estados Unidos, y cómo conservar los valores cristianos dentro del atletismo profesional. El trece veces pelatoro del Juego de Estrellas habla de su impulso de ganar; los secretos detrás de su legendaria compostura; la historia de cómo descubrió su recta cortada; lo nunca antes contado sobre el lanzamiento de la novena entrada del séptimo juego de la Serie Mundial de 2001; y por qué el momento más bajo de su carrera se convirtió en una de sus más grandes bendiciones. Cuando Rivera se retiró, todo el mundo lo vio y aplaudió. En El cerrador , llegamos a una aún mayor apreciación de una leyenda construida desde cero., The greatest relief pitcher of all time shares his extraordinary story of survival, love, and baseball.
